An opinionated discussion of all things SFDebris

A social media site is only as successful as the amount of people that join and look at the ads. Putting aside the fact that its Trump for a second, the left wing bias of Twitter and Facebook have left a gap for a right-wing platform developed by someone with millions of dollars to come along and clean up. In Britain we have a TV news channel called GBNews that launched this year and is doing great due to the hatred of Sky and the BBC's left wing bias. Nigel Ferage has a show and his time slot is one of the most watched shows PERIOD. As in, irrespective of genre.
How are you supposed to respond to that? Seriously that series of words is incoherent outside of a very specific bubble.clearspira wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 7:03 amA social media site is only as successful as the amount of people that join and look at the ads.

I think that this has the potential to be highly successful. And that the Left will run a cancel campaign against its advertisers immediately. I know this because the Left tried that against GBNews too.
He's saying that there's a vacuum for a conservative social media network (read: a Trump/Carlson/QAnon echo chamber) to counteract all the liberal (read: only partially a Trump/Carlson/QAnon echo chamber) ones. And... Well, One America News, National Rifle Association TV, and FOX News have to be keeping the lights on somehow... It's usually charity backing from a major right-wing figure with billions to burn/launder, but still...goodperson25 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 7:15 amHow are you supposed to respond to that?

Interesting. I am beginning to wonder on Facebook. Because the consensus around here is that it has a right wing bias.clearspira wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 7:03 amA social media site is only as successful as the amount of people that join and look at the ads.

Again, distancing myself from Trump as person, the fact remains that he has a lifetime ban from Twitter and a years ban from Facebook. Meanwhile it refuses to ban people who are literally affiliated with terrorists, rapists and pedos.Nealithi wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 9:24 amInteresting. I am beginning to wonder on Facebook.

Seems pretty straightforward to me. You might not agree with it but that doesn't make it incoherent.goodperson25 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 7:15 amHow are you supposed to respond to that?

Interesting. I had not heard about a lifetime ban from Twitter. And the news we had on Facebook had them remove fact checkers because they were obscuring posts from the right/Trump.clearspira wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 9:41 amAgain, distancing myself from Trump as person, the fact remains that he has a lifetime ban from Twitter and a years ban from Facebook.

The idea that Facebook is right wing is a claim only someone on the far left could make.
